A man in his 60s was injured in an apparent robbery at 2:05 p.m.
today at a Starbucks coffee shop at 120 West 56th Street, between Sixth
and Seventh Avenues in Midtown, according to the New York City police.
Authorities initially said that the man appeared to have been shot, but
later corrected that account and said the man had probably been
pistol-whipped. The victim was taken with a head injury to
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and his
condition was not immediately known.
The police were interviewing the victim at the hospital as of 3 p.m. No arrest has been made.
A male employee who answered the phone at the Starbucks shop
referred questions about the matter to the company’s corporate
offices and then hung up. Valerie O’Neil, a spokeswoman for
Starbucks, did not immediately respond to phone and e-mail messages
requesting comment.
